P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler) became everybody’s favorite plugin for a while. Every blogger recommended it, in fact people ( general novice users) relied so much on it, it became the go to plugin for finding out heavy resource hungry plugins. For years users as well as developers suggested it to people. But P3 Performance profiler has recently become buggy since it hasn’t been updated for more than 2 years. In fact, many users are leaving 1 Star negative review on the wordpress.org review page. Here’s a little compilation of last one month’s negative reviews – Lots of errors – “This plugin has always caused errors at my site.” – Review Link
Doesn’t work – trashes site – “Installed and activated with no problems. However running the first scan resulted in tons of fatal errors. Aborting the scan only lead to the site being broken with fatal errors. Deleted plugin files and don’t plan on looking back.” – Review Link
Don’t consider – crashed my site – “Took some effort to get back online. DO NOT USE!!!!!” – Review Link
Don’t download – crashes
